People of color dying from COVID at disproportionate rates should surprise no one. “There is something we can learn from this” completely disingenuous; food, environmental justice, educational & healthcare disparities all stem from old economic disparities. CASE FOR REPARATIONS

Reparations for who??? Please stop using POC!! Black people and POC are not the same and are not interchangeable! Don't erase our plight by including us with other non-white people!!

In addition to monetary reparations, we need even more importantly to repair the way we think about each other.
Exactly! "Inequality and Poverty Were Destroying America Well Before Covid-19" "This crisis shows us how an economy oriented around the whims of the rich leaves death and destruction in its wake." thenation.com/article/societ…

Blacks not people of color.

Thank you Marrianne. Fauci & others have had a long record of so-called "learnings" about America's racial, health disparities. He's been intimately aware of them since the 1980s at the advent of HIV & other health crisises. Rhetoric is used to substitute for concrete actions.
The case for reparations is it being the unforgiveable debt owed to ADOS. Those reasons you listed are the affects of that debt not being paid.

Obesity has been shown to correlate with COVID deaths. Obesity rates: Black 38.4%, white 28.6% Additionally, the biggest outbreaks are in disproportionately minority areas, IE. the cities. You have to compare death rates to local populations, not national populations.
